That may be doable...I'll take a look at it when I get some free time.

Steve,

What would be the purpose/what are you trying to accomplish by doing this?

[steve]

Ive got 20 styles installed and the latest style im working on happens to be at the bottom of the list. Id like it at the top of the list as not to scroll down and not to refresh the template/theme for eg for a style above or below the one im working on by mistake.

[RMcGirr83]

Thing is there are multiple tables, unlike with custom bbcodes or smilies, within the database that are in play when editing/manipulation a style

STYLES, STYLES_TEMPLATE, STYLES_THEME, STYLES_IMAGESET.

So you would be doing a lot of clicking for, IMHO, very little gain.

So I will have to say "Pass" on this one.

Good luck!

You could change the sort order to descending.

in includes/acp/acp_styles.php

Find, (to get the position for the next find)
'L_CREATE' => $user->lang['CREATE_' . $l_prefix],

Find, (Should be line 596)
FROM $sql_from";

Replace with,
FROM $sql_from
ORDER BY style_id DESC";

This will reverse the display of the styles, so the last ID will be at the top.
